Technology Overview

The Intelligent Product Verification Group (IPV) brings intelligent data-driven solutions to industry members for automated product inspection, measurement, defect detection, predictive maintenance, and process improvement. IPV exploits leading technologies and sensors in non-destructive evaluation, machine visions, measurement, and condition monitoring, supported by complex signal and image processing algorithms enhanced by artificial intelligence, to deliver customised solutions for our members’ requirements.


POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

  • Non-destructive defect detection in metals, non-metals, and composites 
  • Verification of additively and conventionally manufactured components
  • In-situ in-line vision inspection on the production line
  • Machine failure monitoring and predictive maintenance in real-time
  • Novel applications of sensor technologies for part quality and process monitoring
  • Part quality verification (dimension and geometry) and reverse engineering
